On October
16th, the Porsche Race Car Classic was held at
at the Quail Lodge in Napa, CA. The event,
a collaboration with Porsche AG and Porsche Cars North
America, was hosted by the UCSF Thoracic Oncology
Program and Bonnie J. Addario Lung Cancer
Foundation. Proceeds from the highly successful event
benefited the respective hosts. The theme, "Driving Lung
Cancer Off the Planet", was underscored in a video
produced by the Thoracic Oncology Program in connection with the
event. Narrated by David M. Jablons, M.D., FACS, the video
likens the passion that went into the development of
the Porsche, the quintessential automotive vehicle,
with the passion of UCSF scientists at Thoracic
Oncology Lab as it seeks to eradicate the
world's number one cancer killer, lung cancer.
